Its getting really tiresome seeing pictures of these carriers at sea with everything on the flight deck except the one bloody thing they were built to carry. ..are they wrapping these F35's up in cotton wool with a 'Break glass in case of emergency' deployment rule or something. Not worth letting t...

Can't deploy a Sqn for long if there are no spares to fix the fukkers.

You can have as many Sqns as you like, but without the spares it's meaningless.

You anoraks get so het up about Sqn numbers or numbers of airframes per Sqn....

The real metric is how many spares have been bought. That drives everything!

Won't find many here mate.

There seems to be a new problem with non-UKDF members now having full access to all sections and all threads, where previously only the main equipment threads were accessible. This wasn't intentional so I've fixed it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Also fixed issues with the forum not kee...

I think he means non members of the forum.

And why is that a problem? They have probably unrestricted the access?

None so far. Quite a few to choose from...FGR, FG or in FAA parlance FA. Been a trend recently e.g. C-17 or C-130J (even though its actually the C4 or C5).

Anyone seen what the rental element of the future housing model? I've seen for homeowners it's £125, but for the rental info seems harder to come by. Just says things like band c or similar, anyone know why any figures for the pilot sites? Go to Witterings sharepoint site, load of stuff about it th...

Bloody hell lads, tissues at the ready!

Airframe serial number has been leaked for the spotters amongst you....

ZM......

No MT but people are going in work time.

No sanctions, but they have been made to acknowledge that refusal of vaccine "may" have "career implications".

Heard a few places that are looking to post people away from certain posts.

Yes.

In all seriousness, it looks pretty much the same to me. Good job.

Chuds who don't like it are free to go start their own sites.

WTF? With respect, I hate this new look, I truly despise and reject it. The page area, for me, is now much narrower with less room for detailed photographs, which for a forum that encourages photographs of equipment, personnel and locations, is a retrograde step and is also awful for people with po...

Look at arfahs signature block. Reasons are all there.

Meaning....? They need to be clear where the boundaries are. Whilst working for the MoD I was a victim but I cannot say more as I had to sign a rather large legal document when I was "Retired" in order to get the right level of compensation. If the boundaries are too large it could destro...

Meaning....?

B-21 I think.....

While a long way down the priority list I don't doubt it would be a very useful option to have. Certainly we once had that option as a requirement because the Nimrod MRA4s were to be equipped with Storm Shadow. No they weren't. BAE bunged a few on a demonstrator to show a possibility. It was never ...

Great question but I doubt you'll find any hands on tornado experience on this forum!

Mostly they were only fitted to the platinum fleet that went to herrick with a a training jet in the UK.
